#RECOUNT# 6,530,188.10 RAISED New Goal 9.5 Million

81. The filing fees needed were 2.5 million for the three states.

There are additional costs that need to be paid like lawyers and workers that do the recounting.

In case you missed it, the total they estimated they needed was 6 to 7 million. It's in the original post on the website UNDER DETAILS YOU NEED TO KNOW. The 2.5 should cover the costs for the first recount which is WI. Now they are hoping to get enough for the next one, PA, then MI. Someone on one of these threads said that if the vote count reverses the results, then they'd get the filing fee deposits returned to them.


DETAILS YOU NEED TO KNOW -

Here are the filing fees and deadlines for each state:

Wisconsin: $1.1 million by Nov 25
Pennsylvania: $0.5 million by Nov 28
Michigan: $0.6 million by Nov 30

Those are filing fees alone. The costs associated with recounts are a function of state law. Attorney's fees are likely to be another $2-3 million, then there are the costs of the statewide recount observers in all three states. The total cost is likely to be $6-7 million.
